Chapter 61: Persuasion (Part 3)
Joseph's words were echoed by many people present, which made President Boji's face gloomy again.
It's not a good sign that his defense minister is demonstrating his ability to increase his influence every minute and every second.
However, Boji could not refute what Joseph said, so he could only ask his second question again, saying, "What about commissions?" How to solve the commission thing? Also, where are they now? And how do you get the exact news of them? ”
One question after another was thrown out with Boji, and everyone present was once again focused on Joseph, waiting for his answer.
But apparently these were not difficult for Joseph, who was already prepared.
"They just completed a mission in Politaya, so they are still in Central Africa, and they happen to take our tasks indirectly, so there is no need to worry about that.
As for the commission, we can actually be flexible! ”
"Flexible?" Boji asked with some confusion for a while: "How to be flexible?" ”
"The diamond mines of Bossango. As long as those people of the Dragon Soul can kill Omo, then we will give them 20% of the annual output value of the Bossango Diamond Mine as a commission! ”
"It can't be!" Bo Ji flatly refused, "You know that the diamond mine in Bossango is the largest diamond mine in our country, capable of producing at least 146,000 carats per year, with an output value of more than 15 million US dollars, and two achievements are 3 million US dollars.
Besides, we have signed a contract with the Xia Group in Huaxia to sell the mining rights to them, and on the contrary, we will get 30% of the annual output value.
So, now the mining rights in Bossango are no longer in our hands. If you want to use the 20% output value you said as a commission, then you can only come out of our own 30%, which is too cost-effective!
The most important thing is that they are not fools, this cake is big and looks delicious, but in a year or two, don't really want to implement it, so this is undoubtedly just a picture cake for them, and they may not be willing to risk their lives for it! ”
Hearing Boji's objections, Joseph said with an unchanged face: "Mr. President, we can't just look at the immediate situation, this is in our long-term interests!" ”
Boji frowned, a little angry in his heart.
"Oh, is it? So Mr. Minister, please tell us what this long-term benefit is. ”
"Okay. Listen to my analysis. ”
Joseph stood up, looked at everyone present and said, "The reason why we handed over the mining rights of the five major mining areas in our country to the Huaxia people so easily, I don't need to say that everyone should know what the reason is.
Our country is about to face war, and our enemies are not weak in comparison, so we need the help of other powerful countries in the world.
Just like this cooperation with Xia's Group, we are actively moving closer to the big countries, which can give us a lot of benefits and enough international support.
Just like this mining right. As long as we exist, then the agreement we signed will always be valid. On the other hand, if we are overthrown by the rebels, then they will not get any benefit, which binds us together through interests.
That's what makes us safer. Even if we lose the war in the future, then we have a way back, so we will not be beaten to death with a stick. ”
Seeing that everyone present nodded slightly, Joseph smiled and continued: "Similarly, it seems very unworthwhile for us to hire those greedy mercenaries with 20% of the output value of the Bossango diamond mine, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not unacceptable. ”
"Just like what Mr. President said before, the output value of these two percent is just a painting cake, and if you want to really eat this painting cake, then it will take at least two or three years to do it.
And such a huge number, I think with the greed of those mercenaries, they will never let go, so this is equivalent to us using this pie to tie those mercenaries to our chariots.
In the next war, if we encounter a life and death situation, I think those mercenaries will not be stingy in order to be able to keep us and realize this pie.
In this regard, I think these mercenaries who roam the battlefield will be more useful than those countries! ”
After Joseph's words, everyone present fell into deep thought, including President Boji, who was sitting on the top.
Although he was very dissatisfied with Joseph, Boji found that he was convinced by this guy in his heart.
Nothing could be more important to them now than the coming war, and if they really failed, then all would be in vain, and in this respect neither Boji nor Joseph knew very well.
"Okay, so now let's talk about the method that our Secretary of Defense has proposed, and whether we should follow this method."
After a brief silence, President Boji was the first to speak.
After all, this incident will have a big impact on their next arrangements, so it still needs to be discussed and passed after the military's resolution is passed.
However, the advantages of this matter still outweigh the disadvantages when taken together, so it should not be a big problem through discussion, which Joseph had considered before bringing it up.
Sure enough, the result was not what he expected, and after two hours of heated arguments, more than ten people finally agreed to the plan.
This even includes President Boji.
Although looking at the smug Joseph made Boji curse "damn it" in his heart, he still had to do what he had to do. And now he has a lot of headaches, and about this matter, it was finally handed over to Joseph to preside.
And Joseph, who got the result he wanted, after returning to his office, the first thing he did was to tell his assistant to go to the dark web to contact this mercenary group called Dragon Soul, and the next thing was how to make the other party accept his conditions!
However, Lin Dong didn't know about these things, even if Joseph contacted him online, it was just an assistant to the mercenary system who was dealing with these things, and only when the system determined the value of this mission would it be released to Lin Dong.
However, because someone else took the initiative to come to the door this time, Lin Dong didn't have to worry about the punishment he didn't accept.
